"________ is really late, don't you think?" ________ said, looking up from her laptop.

"________, she said she wasn't coming" ________ said

"Well, to me, she's late. Because there is no book club if any of us is missing" _______ crossed her arms

"Well, maybe she's done with the fake funeral- because we all know it's just a really stupid excuse. So why don't we call her?" _______ said

"Okay, then" _______ shrugged and took out her phone, dialing ______'s house number, and putting it on speaker.

---------

The boys and _______ were having a blast. _______, Minho, and Onew had started something they called 'the creativity table' which was filled with a bunch of materials for the letters like glitter, color pencils, and paint.

"Pass me the red paint" Minho said, raising his arm in front of Onew's face.

"No! You're just gonna make a mess like you did with the green one!" Onew complained

"I swear I'm not, just give me the god damn--"

"Minho, language"

"Onew I will kick you--"

"Minho, please"

Yesung and Taemin were practicing a dance routine.

"See, the song you chose is pretty simple so the choregraphy shouldn't be too flashy" Taemin explained

"Look, I know you're just saying this cause I'm a horrible dancer" Yesung said, pretty straightforwardly.

"Yours words not mine"

Key was desiging a dress in 'the creativity table'.

"If I could maybe put this ribbon around the waist..." Key said, biting the end of his pencil as Onew and Minho quarreled on.

And Jonghyun was in the couch writing down some notes in his music notebook while playing _______'s guitar.

"Hey, that sounds good!" _______ cheered on

"Right? But I'm thinking maybe with this note it'd sound better" Jonghyun said, strumming the chord. "See?"

"Hmm.. The first one is better" ______ nodded

"What do you know about music?" Jonghyun raised his eyebrow

"I have ears, duh!"

Suddenly, the phone started ringing. Everyone looked up from what they were doing.

"I'll get it" Jonghyun said dropping his guitar. He took the phone and put it on speaker. "Hello?"

"Um..hi! Who is this?" ______ said on the other end.

.......

"Hello?" ______ repeated

Jonghyun looked at the others in panic and threw the phone at Taemin.

"_______ doesn't have any brothers.." they could hear _______'s voice in the background.

Taemin caught it and looked at it in panic.

"Maybe it's his dad.." they could hear ______ say

Then, he threw it at Yesung.

"He works on Saturdays.." _______ said

Yesung threw it at Onew. 

"HELLO?!" Onew said in a rather loud voice

"Aish! Who is this?!" _______ asked

"Onew" Onew said

"Aish, Onew you pabo! What are you doing at _______' s house?" ______ asked

"We-we're just hanging out" Onew said

"Wait.. so she didn't come to the book club to hang out with you?" _______ asked, clearly offended

"Um..I'm not sure if I'm supposed to answer that.." Onew said

"Where's our friend?" _______ asked

"O-over here. Give me a second" Onew said and handed the phone over to ______.

"H-hello?" _______ said

"PARK _______ WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! HOW DARE YOU NOT COME TO THE BOOK CLUB MEETING?! YOU'RE TEARING THIS FAMILY APART!" _______ barked

"_____-Unnie...you're going to the bad place" ______ said slowly.

"Guys, guys. Chill. If you want, I can come over just now" _______ said

"Really?" _______ asked

_______ looked up at the boys and they all shook their heads. 

"We're not ready" Minho whispered

"You can come tomorrow.." _______ said

"Who can come tomorrow?" _______ asked

______ hit her forehead. 'Did I seriously say that out loud? Pabo, pabo, pabo!'

"Erm..Onew! Onew doesn't want to go so I don't think I can-" 

"He can come with us! We're heading out to the movies right now" _______ said

"You missed the book club meeting already but the movie is starting in 30 minutes." _______ said

"Well, ok then. Then, Onew and I are on our way" _______ said

Onew shook his head.

"I mean..I'm on my way. Onew doesn't want to go anymore" _______ said

"Wait, aren't you going to give us an explanation?" _______ asked

"The time is ticking. Bye!" _______ said and hung up the phone.

"That was close" Jonghyun said

"It appears we'll be leaving now" Taemin pouted

"Unfortunately..But, you can come tomorrow morning." _______ said

"Great. We'll be here tomorrow" Key nodded
